I have a question running 'perl -d' for AUTOLOAD functions. In the perl debugger, if I do a 'S', it lists all the packages that has been loaded. I have a package named "Change.pm". If I call Change::sub1() and sub1 is not defined in Change.pm, the code looks into AUTOLOAD, and load up another package called "ChangeMore.pm" and look for the sub1() in there instead. How can I put a breakpoint inside sub1() when it is called in ChangeMore.pm? I only see all the subs in Change.pm when I do an 'S', I tried 'b postpone ChangeMore::sub1' and that didn't work.. TIA
